Does your child’s school use the Accelerated Reader (AR) Program to encourage students to read? If so, I’m happy to announce that Turkey Trot is now available within their program.

The short version: I’m now a full-time author. If you want the longer version, I’ve added it below. Writing books was never on my radar screen.

During my break in July, Jet and I headed over to the mountains of North Georgia to do some scouting for bear. Earlier in the summer, I purchased a fifteen-foot camper to serve as basecamp on wheels for these more remote hunting adventures we are starting to enjoy together as he gets older. So, in…

I’m thrilled and honored to announce that Sticks and Strings received the Outstanding Achievement Award in the book category at the Professional Outdoor Media Association’s annual meeting. The Professional Outdoor Media Association’s (POMA) membership consists of writers and other creative professionals who produce traditional, outdoor sports-focused content (books, articles, photography, and other media). POMA’s 2025 meeting was held at Ohio’s…

If you didn’t notice, I missed sending my newsletter last month. Part of the reason was that I was super busy with school visits (and fulfilling book orders related to school visits). I had a great time meeting with students at several schools and getting them excited about reading—and the outdoors! I know school is…
